Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time, whereas the horizontal component of velocity does

not change?
Physics

dlinn [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer

When a body moves in projectile motion it has two components. One of the components is a horizontal component of the velocity and another is a vertical component.

The velocity along the horizontal component does not change because there is no acceleration long horizontal component.  

Whereas velocity along vertical direction keeps on changing because the acceleration due to gravity is acting on the object. At a maximum height of the projectile velocity is equal to zero.

A car traveling at 30 m/s speeds up to 35 m/s over a period of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

u =30 m/s

v = 35 m/s

t = 5 secs

Explanation:

a = (v- u)/t

a = (35-30)/5

a = 5/5

a = 1 m/s^2

You’re speeding at 85 km/hr when you notice that you’re only 10 m behind the car in front of you,
solmaris [256]
Your position in meters will, measured relative to the starting point of the car behind you, be 
x1(t) = 10 + 23.61 t - 1/2 4.2 t^2 
his position will be 
x2(t) = 16.67 t 
Hence at any time the separation s(t) will be 
s(t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 10 + 6.94 t -2.1 t^2 
Now I assume you mean that you will decelerate UNTIl you are driving at the legal speed limit (60 km/h). That will take you: 
16.67 m/s = 23.61m/s - 4.2 m/s^2 * t 
t = 1.65 seconds 
What is the separation at that time? If it is still greater than zero, there will be no collision: 
s(1.65) = 10 + 6.94 *1.65 -2.1 (1.65)^2 = 15.73 meters. 
Hence you will NOT collide. The 1.65 s you calculated was the time needed to brake to the speed of 60 km/h.
